This is the only commercial recording of the Billy Berg band with Parker, who failed
to show up for the Dial session on February 7 -- at this session Gillespie re-made
"Diggin' Diz" and added "Dizzy Atmosphere," "Confirmation," "'Round Midnight,"
and "When I Grow Too Old To." This session was originally supposed to include Lester
Young and Milt Jackson, who never showed up; Thompson and Garrison were recruited
at the last minute to take their places.
Later in February Parker signed a one-year exclusive contract with Dial.
